‘Script (Draft)’
By CakeBox Productions
A bleak city landscape. The camera is following a man walking
through the grey streets. He is wearing warm clothing indicating winter. Camera
pulls focus in and out changing focus from him and the scenery around.
John(aside)-: I always wanted to be a police detective. I don’t know why.
Cut to
next shot. Close-up match on action of Jon brushing past a building.
John(aside)-: Maybe it was the TV shows. The good cop always catching the bad
guy and he somehow manages to rescue everyone at the end. Cool story.
Cut
to extreme close up of the Bomb Maker tinkering.
Cut back
to John. Low angle shot like the camera is behind a car following the approach
of John.
John(aside)-: No. It was a nice thought, though. Maybe one day I’ll get given
a case where the killer is some idiot with a clear motive, prints at the scene,
the works.
Cut
to extreme close up of the Bomb Maker’s mouth area. He slowly smiles.
Cut to shot
of traffic with muffled car noises allowing the monologue to be heard.
John(aside)-: That would be nice before I retire. That old cliché.
Shot of
the back of John. He is looking down at traffic on an overpass. The sound of
wind and traffic is muffled.
John(aside)-: Long time until that, unfortunately.
Cut to two-shot. Another person approaches. It is John’s partner, Pedro
La Guerta.
Pedro-: John?
John-: Pedro. What d’you need?
Pedro-: You at the station. Someone’s there claiming that they’ve set up
a bomb in the city. They’re asking to speak to you personally.
Close
up of John as he replies.
John-: And here I thought that I could have the morning off.
Cut to main titles.
